SUPPORT LEGS

The cookers are supplied with four transit supports (one for each corner).

Four support legs are supplied separately and are fitted on location to the four corners of the lower support frame. Each support leg

is pushed over the relevant transit support until flush with the support frame.

Each leg is adjusted by screwing the lowe r section in or out as required for fitting to a 900mm bench height. For lower bench tops

adjust the height of the legs to 180mm so the hob is located 10mm above the horizontal combustible surface, ref. AS/NZS 5601

Fig. 06

Legs should be installed with the appliance close to its final

destination, as the legs are not designed for excessive force and

will snap off if too much side force is exerted on them (dragging

along or angled too much). When fitting, try to keep the appliance

as close to a horizontal position as

possible. Use of a pallet jack is

recommended.

If the legs are not used and the cooker is mounted onto a plinth,

four transit supports allow for clearance.

With the legs fitted, the splash-back can be fitted. Follow the

instructions shown in Fig. 07.

Fig 07

With the legs adjusted to a nominal cooker height of 910 mm, and the splash-back fitted, anti-tilt restraint bracket can be added to

the rear of the appliance.

First fit the flat strap to the rear of the cooker at the centre point of the lower rear edge. Use the supplied screw (Fig. 08).

Mark a line on the floor marking the mid-point of the cooker once installed (see Fig. 09) from the back wall. Measure in (from the

back wall) the distance from the hob back (at top) to the rear of the cooker (dimension A), and mark on the mid-point line (see Fig.

09). Place the retaining bracket against this mark and mark the fixing screw point on the floor. Mount the retaining bracket to the

floor using the supplied fixing screw (for concrete only, for other surfaces an appropriate fixing screw should be purchased). Place

the appliance in position and attach the 2 brackets with the supplied retaining screws accessing from beneath the appliance.

USING THE OVEN THERMOSTAT CONTROL

The thermostat is used to set the maximum internal temperature of the oven. Turn the thermostat control knob clockwise and

align the selected temperature indicated on the knob with the index etched on the control panel above it. Thermostat operation is

indicated by an orange light which will turn off when the temperature inside the oven is 10°C greater than the temperature

setting, and will turn on when the oven is

10°C less than the temperature setting. The thermostat can control the oven elements

only if an oven function has been set. For manual timers (OF914FX), the timer must be set or adjusted to manual mode. For

electronic timers (OF916FX), the timer must be off

(“A”

symbol off) or running.

USING THE OVEN FUNCTION CONTROL KNOB (Fig. 20)

The oven function knob is used to control the electric fan and the oven

elements in set combinations in conjunction with the timer and thermostat.

The electric oven is heated by 4 elements:

a) Upper element (1200W) and grill element (1500W) combined at the

top of the oven cavity.

b) Lower element (1600W) at the bottom of the oven cavity.

c) Two circular elements (1200W) at the rear of the oven cavity, situated

around the 2 internal fans.

Select an oven function by turning the oven function control knob so that the

symbol for the required function is at the top and in line with the index

etched on the control panel above it.

Note: The timer and thermostat must be set correctly for the oven to function.

To turn electric oven off adjust the oven function control knob to position

0 (no function selected). Setting the thermostat con

rol knob to position

0 turns off the elements but it is still possible, using the oven function knob,

to turn on the electric fan and the oven light.

There are 9 functions as per below:

QUICK START/DEFROST FUNCTION: This function runs the rear fans and all elements. The heat generated is too hot

to cook in, but is perfect for preheating the oven (run at the required

emperature until the thermostat light turns off and

on a couple of time, then adjusts to the required function setting. To use as a defrost function, leave the thermostat on

0. This allows air to flow over frozen food speeding up defrost times.

CONVENTIONAL COOKING FUNCTION: This function runs the upper and lower elements. It is dependent on the

timer and the thermostat setting.

LOWER ELEMENT COOKING FUNCTION: This function runs the lower element. It is dependent on the timer and the

thermostat setting. It can be used at low temperatures, for slow cooking casseroles & custard, and at high

temperatures for pastries.

UPPER ELEMENT COOKING FUNCTION: This function runs the upper element. It is dependent on the timer and the

thermostat setting. With less power than the grill, this can be used to brown cauliflower cheese and to reheat

lasagne.

GRILL COOKING FUNCTION: This function runs the upper and grill elements. It is dependent on the timer and the

thermostat setting. Best used for shorter grilling times, like toast or crumpets.

GRILL AND FAN COOKING FUNCTION: This function runs the upper and grills elements, and runs both rear internal

fans. It is dependent on the timer and the thermostat setting. Best used for longer grilling times, or when grilling foods

with a lot of moisture.

FAN ASSIST COOKING FUNCTION: This function runs the upper and lower elements, and runs both rear internal fans.

It is dependent on the timer and the thermostat setting. Best used when cooking large amounts of food at one time,

for frozen potato products and crumbed/battered chicken or fish.

FAN OVEN COOKING FUNCTION: This function runs the circular rear elements; and runs both rear internal fans. It

is dependent on the timer and the thermostat setting. This function is suitable to most types of cooking, with even

temperatures throughout the oven.

PIZZA COOKING FUNCTION: This function runs the lower and circular rear elements, and runs both rear internal

fans. It is dependent on the timer and the thermostat setting. Great for Pizza s, pastries or flat breads, where you

want the base crispy and the rest cooked.

USING THE ELECTRIC OVEN

When using the oven for the first time it should be operated for a maximum of 30 minutes at a temperature of about 250°C to

eliminate any odours generated by the internal insulation. During normal oven use, select the desired cooking temperature using the

thermostat knob and wait until the orange light turns off (set temperature has been reached) before putting in any food. The oven is

equipped with 5 guides at different heights (Fig. 21) which can be used to insert shelves or the tray. To keep the oven as clean as

possible it is recommended to cook meat on the tray or on the shelf that has been inserted inside the tray. Always turn the oven off

by adjusting the oven function control knob to off (0).

NOTE: After use, the cooling fan will continue to run until the internal electrical system has cooled sufficiently.

Fig. 21

When cooking, always open the oven door slightly first (head away from the door), to allow any built-up steam to escape, and then

open fully. Always use heat resistant gloves when removing hot items from the oven. Never line the sides or base of the oven, or

enamel backing dishes with aluminium foil (it can damage the enamel sur

ace). Never cook or place cookware on the base – always

use trays and shelves provided.

Always preheat your oven before cooking (see the quick start function), which allows more accurate timing of cooking.

CONVENTIONAL COOKING

Conventional cooking cooks with heat coming from both the top and bottom, ideal for roasts and pastries. After preheating oven to

the correct temperature (50⁰C to 250⁰C), adjust oven function control knob

o conventional cooking

and place food inside oven. Set

timer if needed.

FAN OVEN COOKING

Fan Oven cooking cooks with heat coming from the rear of the oven, with hot air circulated around by the fans, ideal for cooking

different types of food together without mixing the tastes. Pre-heat the oven for 10 minutes before inserting the trays. Adjust oven

function control knob to fan oven cooking and place food inside oven. Set timer if needed.

GRILLING

The grill is controlled using the oven’s temperature knob. The grill function uses both elements at the top of the oven, so is faster

and more powerful than using the top element alone. Run this function with the door closed and at a temperature not exceeding

150°C for up to 15 minutes. Use the enamel tray with wire rack insert at positions 1 or 2 (or lower to slow down the grilling process).

Do not leave the tray in the upper positions when not in use, as they will deflect heat away from food.

Preheat for 5 minutes first before adding the food and tray. This function is best for thinner, quickly cooked food like toast; for

thicker food that will take longer, use the grill and fan cooking function.

GRILLING WITH FANS

This function is similar to the grilling function, but with the rear fans added, allowing a more even heat to flow around the food. Run

this function with the door closed. Place the food on a wire rack and insert at position 3. Place a baking dish on level 5 to catch any

juice or crumbs (this allows the heat to circulate the food). This is better for thicker foods which need to be cooked for longer times.

Preheat for 5 minutes first before adding the food and tray

USING THE MANUAL TIMER (OF914FX)

When not using a timer to cook in the oven, the manual timer control knob should be turned to the manual cooking setting

(Hand symbol between 0 and 120). To use the manual timer, place food into the oven and set up functions and temperature as

applicable. Adjust the time (from 10 to 120 minutes) by turning the manual timer control knob clockwise until the preferred time is

aligned with the index etched on the control panel above it. Once set, the manual timer will start to count down (the control knob

will slowly turn anticlockwise) until 0 is reached, at which point the oven (not gas cooktop) will turn off and a buzzer will sound. The

timer can be adjusted at any point during the cooking function. Do not adjust the knob from anticlockwise from manual to 120, as

this will damage the timer mechanism.
